A Canadian company finalist at the Global Bottled Water Awards

Maple 3 maple water earned its way to the 2018 Global Bottled Water Awards finals, which recognize the best waters in the world. The Canadian company will compete against some of the world’s giants in the water sector and will be in Évian on October 23 for the finals in the “Best Flavoured Water” and “Best New Water Concept” categories.

A world-renowned contest

The Global Bottled Water Awards are an annual contest organized by Zenith Global, experts in the food and drinks industry. Maple 3 was selected for the authenticity of its maple water and its naturalness. Invited to the symposium on world innovations and to the award ceremony, the Maple 3 team will fly to Évian, a French city well known for its mineral water.

A great Canadian natural resource rewarded

Stéphane Nolet, Yannick Leclerc and Guillaume Crouzet, the young entrepreneurs behind Maple 3, started marketing their water in 2016. Their search for the purest water led them to choose nature as their laboratory. Their bottles are filled with one ingredient: maple water. Naturally low in calories, this water, tailor-made by nature and harvested straight from maple trees, is a refreshing choice for active people.

“This is exactly the type of emblematic product that we want the world to discover!” — Guillaume Crouzet, Marketing Manager at Maple 3

After five years of research and development, the company is ready to expand and export across the world. This recognition will help Maple 3 accelerate its international distribution. The company already exports to nearly 10 countries, including China, Japan, France and India.

A fast-growing market

Its nomination among the best waters in the world coincides with the fast growth of the plant-based water market. According to Zenith Global’s Global Alternative Waters 2017 report, the plant-based water market was forecast to double in size and reach US$5.4 billion by 2020. This growth is in line with consumers’ desire to consume more responsibly and choose quality products.
